Boy Luv Girl

After a bad experience at another salon I came to Boy Luv Girl hoping to some how salvage my hair. Lisa patiently listened to me as I told her what had happened. (Basically I want a lob and got a weird Rachel haircut) After listening to me, she asked some questions and made some suggestions. I am so happy with the end result and I wish I would have gone to her in the first place! Highly recommended! Also the shampoo girl (I didn’t catch her name) did a great job. I’ll be back!

This Salon came highly recommended. I was made to feel very welcome & offered wine while I waited.
Anna was my stylist & she followed everything that I said… except for the take a couple of inches off the length request.
I showed her 4 pics of long hair cuts, however I now have a very cute cut but it’s about 4 or 5 inches shorter than the 2″ off request. Lots of masterful snipping but I now have a bob for the Holidays & everyone agrees my hair is about 7″ shorter now.
I could see how short it was before I left but what can you do at that point? Can’t sew it back on, so I figured I’d sit with it for a couple of days.
Thankfully my hair grows pretty quick, but I highly recommend you recap with your stylist what you want before the scissors come out to make sure it sank in.
Cute cut but from now on I’m cutting my own hair…

I have big curly hair and have suffered through some atrocious haircuts at both low and extremely high end salons. I came here and got the best haircut of my LIFE from Hector. Didn’t try to convey a complicated style, just let him take a look at my hair, let him know how I wear it and what I need it to represent and told him to use his best judgement and make me look good. Never going anywhere else!

I really hate leaving this review, but I hope to help someone else avoid making a big mistake!
My experience started off with a chaotic hair washing experience. The receptionist began washing my hair, ran off to answer the phone and left me sitting there for a few minutes with shampooing soaking into my hair. After a few minutes, someone else came over and washed for another minute or so before the receptionist came back and finished up. She very clearly did not want to be washing hair and did an exceedingly bad job of it.
Next came the haircut. (I’m not naming names because I actually liked the stylist). It is the worst haircut I ever had. Not only is it crooked, but it’s a ridiculous style. I have not-​quite-​shoulder length hair and told the stylist I wanted to keep my modern cut but wanted to soften the blunt front ever so slightly. He asked if I wanted layers and I told him as minimal as possible — enough to give my hair some movement and soften the front but nothing obvious.
Here’s what I got instead: extremely short layers in the back — I’m talking a good 4 – 5 inch difference between the top and bottom of my not quite shoulder length hair!!! No change in the front at all. It’s like some nightmare version of the Rachel.
I’ve scheduled another cut at another salon to try to fix this disaster as much as possible.
Save yourself your hundred bucks and a whole lot of heartbreak and go somewhere else!

I love this salon. It is the only place I go for a haircut. Latesha is amazing and actually has a background in curly hair which is huge. She listens and gives great feedback. I also love the atmosphere. It is lovely inside and the the aesthetic is a mix of modern and vintage. Highly recommend.

Latesha is wonderful! A few weeks ago, she gave me a cut that perfectly walks that fine line between what I wanted and what my hair textured allowed for.
I don’t know about you, but I’m a girl who is impulsive and very much into changing my hair as much as my outfits. I went in there wanting a very short choppy graduated bob that, if executed perfectly, would have made my head into nothing but frizz. I’m glad she didn’t listen, but took my vision in the right direction.
Admittedly, as I walked out, I was a little bummed. The haircut was OK but not 100% what I wanted and I felt like she played it a little safe when I wanted her to go for the gold. Within a week, I was so appreciative that she did NOT ruin my hair. Honestly, it’s the best cut I’ve ever gotten! And as my husband says, it’s so «me.»
I also wanted to darken/​warm up my color a bit — I was walking around with longer very blonde pulled back hair, and now it’s a cute choppy bob with plenty of stray pieces to keep my happy, and this warm dark blonde with beautiful subtle highlights — I’m a happy camper.
One star off for the price — holy cow! For my color (single process + full highlights) and my cut, I paid nearly $ 300 with tip! Hopefully this is a 3−4x a year type of thing and hopefully she can replicate.

On the recommendation of a friend, switched to this salon from a pricey organic one in Manhattan — and I’ve never looked back! Latesha has given me two GREAT haircuts in row, and did my color for the first time last week. Such a relief to feel like I’ve FINALLY found a place that will give me great style at a price where I don’t drag my feet and wait too long between appointments. Highly recommend.

Oh my goodness. Cut was fine but seriously, $ 82 for a 20minute cut?

I’ve been seeing Lisa every month for the past three years. She’s fantastic. I totally trust her,
I have a slightly complicated dye job that involves excluding some pieces and it’s never been a problem.
Prices are reasonable, cheaper than what I had been paying in Manhattan and the spa itself it quite cute, and the staff are friendly.

Do not go here unless you want to be completely ignored and then be given the worst haircut of your life.
I walked in, and they asked me if I wanted water. The water never came. I got my own water-​not a big deal. But this was indicative of the issue at hand: a complete lack of listening skills at this website-​less (wtf?) salon.
I have long, thick curly hair. I asked for a trim, and to have my layers cut shorter because they had grown out. Apparently the word «shorter» was the trigger for my new bangs.
I now have bangs, and basically the Jennifer Aniston from 1998. A glorified mullet. I cannot put my layers in a ponytail. When I asked how this happened and if there was anything that could be done, my «stylist» Lisa ran away. She literally ran in the back of the salon and poof! out came the manager. They kept referring to this as a «misunderstanding,» which is a total excuse — I was clear in communicating I wanted my layers trimmed, and that my layers needed to be gradual.
I also told Lisa that I had curly hair, which she clearly has no clue how to deal with, because anyone who knows curly hair knows not to cut it too short or it poofs up.
Bottom line: steer clear. Try Soon on Court. A million times more professional.

This weather has put me in a funk like most people. My blonde was making me look washed out so Lisa and I decided to darken me up. Not super dark but a nice chocolate
Brown. I love it. Once again she did exactly what I asked for and did it perfectly!

Latesha gave me my first ever bangs and I LOVE them. As other reviewers have noted, she has an amazing talent for understanding exactly what you’re picturing — the descriptions I burbled at her were totally incoherent (I am NOT a hair person) and she somehow produced exactly what I wanted. After establishing that I do precisely nothing to style my hair, she also persuaded me into a layer I would not have gotten without her input, but which looks great straight out of the shower. Basically I may never go to any other stylist again, ever.

I’ve been going to the same stylist for a year now and getting bored of his work. I have what many people consider «easy hair», its stick straight and thick. The downside of this is that it looks bland. While it takes a lot of skill to tame curly hair, it takes a lot of vision and creativity to make straight hair interesting. My hair actively refuses to be interesting. It doesn’t take a curl unless I put a mountain of goop in it, and it weighs itself down and looks flat.
So, I called B luvs G on a whim after walking by many times and thinking «why not try a new place» and they squeezed me in just an hour later. The atmosphere is super down to earth and not snobby at all. They do lots of kids cuts as well and really strive to create an inclusive vibe.
Leticia did my shampoo and haircut (which I love! It’s nice to have the same person working on your hair). I explained to her my dilemma: boring, straight heavy hair. Every time I get a cut, it looks good for a few weeks, and then the layers grow out and it looks bland again. I told her I need texture, movement, and a cut that retains some shape even as it grows out. I told her I didn’t want to lose much length and it still needs to be professional. I also said I’m lazy and don’t want to work hard to maintain it.
She nailed it. Like instinctively. She said, «well, you need a lot more layers on top and shorter layers to create movement.» She went to work quickly and efficiently, paused to tell me she’s going to blow it out and then double check the length and take more out after its dry. So we proceeded. Throughout the cut, she was friendly, but not in that fake small-​talk way that stylists can sometimes be. I felt relaxed and most importantly, i felt like she understood what my hair needed.
This was a week ago and since then, the cut still looks great. I’ve shampooed it already and blown it out myself and I really feel the difference. It looks a bid like mid 90s Jen Aniston, but hey, you know what, that’s getting to be a classic cut, and it works for my hair.
I’m very pleased with this cut and experience, oh and the price? 70 bucks, very fair, going rate, not a rip off. I recommend them. The only thing – why wont they make a website? Please make a website! It’s 2013!

I have had pretty long hair that I want to do nothing about for a while. I know what to expect when I go from very long to shoulder length: I look like a 50’s housewife or a poodle depending on the time of year. I just went to visit Boy luv Girl which was recommended to me years ago, and i was squealing on my way out– I actually look like a hip professional adult. It’s a small miracle. My stylist immediately seemed to know my hair: stringgy yet coarse but lots lots lots of it. (probably the most confusing hair to cut and style) and she not only planned and executed accordingly, she was absolutely more than happy to spend some time tweaking after blowing out my style. something I feel nyc stylists are never open to/​get frustrated by. I hate to be pushy and usually end up wanting out luke warm at the end of a hair cut. Not the case here. I was absolutely a stake-​holder in the haircut, and my approval was respected and listened to!
go there!

I have passed this place many times and so when I needed a haircut, came here. Anna cut my hair and did an amazing job with insight on what style would look good on me. I will definitely come back. Everybody was friendly.

Letitia was amazing with my 4-​year old son. She had all the patience in the world for him AND gave him an incredibly stylish haircut. Loved her!

Had my first blowout here on Sunday — Lisa was fabulous! I’ve had a hard time finding a good place to get a blowout in the neighborhood, and a friend suggested Boy Luv Girl. I had an 11am appointment and Lisa took me right on time. The shampoo/​scalp massage by the receptionist (I can’t remember her name) was divine, and Lisa gave me a great, sleek blowout with just enough volume to last throughout the entire day and night (I had a wedding at 3pm). I will definitely be coming back and can’t wait to refer my friends!

I just moved to the neighborhood and I’m so happy to have found Boy Luv Girl. I have poofy/​frizzy/​kind-​of-​curly/​wavy hair that is very hard to tame. I had an appointment with Lisa and was nervous that once again I was going to get a stylist who cut off too much, put in too many or too few layers, or tried to straighten my hair unnaturally. I was so wrong. Lisa listened carefully, gave me her own suggestions for what would work for my hair type, and then simply did a fabulous job. Not only did my hair look great that day when she gave it a wavy blow out, but it actually looks even better when I style it myself (exactly what I wanted since I rarely have the patience to blow dry my own hair.) I am absolutely going back to Lisa. She’s wonderful.
The salon itself is also very lovely. Simple, quiet vibe. No frills but it doesn’t need them. Plus, the price is right. Haircuts are between $ 60-​$ 80 which in NY is a steal.

Such a nice salon. I have been going to Boy Luv Girl for about 4 years or more. I occasionally go somewhere else just due to lack of time to make an appointment or something and I always come right back.
I use Anna and also Lisa, both skilled stylists and very friendly and just lovely. I always know I am going to get good advice, a stylish cut, and walk out happy
So great to have such a nice place right on Atlantic.

My new hair salon !!! Bye Williamsburg
The owner is super cool and nice
The girl that cut my hair was pretty quick and did a great job = she followed exactly what I asked + better
$ 75 for a good cut Is not bad
